"We feel our schools are safe," Rountree said. "We feel Carver High School is safe." He said an "increased presence" of law enforcement would be in place at schools Tuesday but didn't discuss specifics.

Emory said counselors would be at the school Tuesday for parents and students who'd like to talk about what happened.

"We train for these kinds of things," Emory said. "We hope and pray we aren't tested." She praised the quick response of officers at Friday's shooting scene.

Winston-Salem police said the shooting occurred outside the school Friday during a planned fire drill. A school resource officer heard the first shots and was able to get Richardson to surrender. He faces several charges.

A football game between Carver and RJ Reynolds was postponed because of the shooting. It will be played Monday at 6 p.m.

"Know this," Travis said. "Your child is as safe here as they are in any other school in Forsyth County."
